Objective: This study aimed to study the relationship between thyroid function test and thyroid uptake using 99m Tc and to determine of the normal range of the thyroid uptake in Sudanese as well as the possibility of replacing the TFT test by thyroid uptake. Methods: Out of the 77 patients (6.2%)males and (93.5%) females who referred to the department of nuclear medicine at radio isotope center Khartoum (RICK) for thyroid function test and thyroid scan in the period fromMay to Aug 2009, were included in this study.Simple sensitive RIA wasused for the measurement of thyroid related hormones (T4, T3and TSH), and thyroid uptake value in the gamma camera (mediso). Results: The results showed that mean±SD values for T3, T4, TSH and thyroid uptake were 5.6±3.6, 79.8±6.5, 6.7±0.8 and 6.3±2.4 respectively. The normal range for thyroid uptake in this study was ranged from 5.78 to 6.12% at 20 min after injected with a dose of 3mCi 99mTc. As well as the results showed that there is strong and significant correlation at p = 0.05 between the thyroid uptake versus T3 and T4. Whereas in low uptake the correlation coefficient r = 0.87 and 0.81 for T4 and T3 respectively, and in elevated group r = 0.94 for T4 and 0.96 for T3. While in the normal uptake group r = 0.99 and 0.88 for T4 and T3 respectively. This study concluded that there was relationship between thyroid uptake and the level of the thyroid related hormones The percentage of thyroid uptake was ranging between 1.2 and 8.0 Conclusion: There were possibilities of using thyroid uptake only as a diagnostic tool for thyroid activity
